My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: Virginia
My Mother passed unexpectedly about 3 weeks ago, and she did not have a Will. I am her only child. She was living with a boyfriend of many years, and shared the lease with him. This boyfriend was abusive verbally and physically to her, and the police have many calls on record for showing up to the address, but there are no charges that have ever been filed. The boyfriend is claiming that he will be keeping all of her furniture, including what is in her room. They did not share a room(should be a hint at the abuse). We have no receipts or any paperwork that shows proof that she owned it, aside from it being in her room. There are other pieces of furniture in the living room that is hers as well.
I've never been to a probate hearing and would like to get an idea of what exactly is going to occur. Also how can I prevent him from claiming they are his, and make sure Probate will include them? What do I need to get together to be prepared? I have a court date of November 7th with Probate. We have no attorney and can not afford one.
